The market has mistakenly punished Fugro for temporary headwinds, creating a chance to buy a solid business at an exceptionally cheap price. Investors are overlooking a potential 20% FCF yield, which is currently masked by strategic growth spending. With a proven management team and multiple secular tailwinds, I believe Fugro has a clear path to generating higher cash flow growth.
Fugro's Q1 2024 results showed weaker revenue and margins, but management remains confident in achieving mid-term EBIT margin targets. Strong free cash flow generation and a healthy balance sheet position Fugro well, with net debt at just 0.5x trailing EBITDA despite heavy capex. Current valuation is attractive, with Fugro trading at a low EV/EBITDA multiple and consensus estimates projecting significant EBITDA growth by 2027.
